Pet Food Scoop

About the Pet Food Scoop

A pet food scoop: a round cup sized to hold your pet’s meal (in grams of dry food, or millilitres), with fill lines inside at a half and a quarter, and a flat handle with the pet’s name and a paw raised on it.

What you can change

• Type your own pet’s name.
• Make one, or a whole batch at once: paste a list of names and get one each.
• Font: 26 to choose from, from script to stencil.
• Holds: grams of dry food and millilitres.
• Pick the scoop and name and paw colours.
• Adjust how much, full to the brim.
• Turn on or off: fill lines inside at a half and a quarter.

What you download

An STL for any slicer, and a 3MF with each colour as its own part, ready for an AMS or a filament change.

Printing it

Prints standing up, no supports. The size is worked out from the amount; check it with your kitchen scales the first time, as kibble sizes vary. Wash by hand.

Questions

How accurate is it?

It’s worked out for average kibble, about 0.45 g a millilitre. Weigh a scoop the first time, and adjust the amount if yours is heavier or lighter.

Is it food safe?

Use it for dry food and wash it by hand: 3D prints have tiny gaps between layers that are hard to clean.

Do I need a multi-colour printer?

No. Print it in one colour, or in colours with a filament change: the Colours line under the 3D view says at which height to change. With an AMS or another multi-colour printer, the 3MF prints it in one go.

Which printers and slicers does it work with?

Any FDM printer. The STL opens in every slicer; the 3MF keeps the colours as separate parts in Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer and Cura. Pick your printer in the designer to check it fits the plate.

Can I sell what I make?

On Pro and Ultimate you can sell the prints you make, for example on Etsy or at craft fairs. On Free and Maker, print it for yourself or give it as a gift. The STL and 3MF files themselves are never for sharing or selling.
